Shoppers can pay for goods and groceries at two H-E-B stores in San Antonio without hitting the checkout lane.

The retailer is piloting H-E-B Go, a self-checkout mobile app, at its South Flores Market location in downtown San Antonio and its store at De Zavala Road and Interstate 10 on the city’s North Side, company spokeswoman Dya Campos said Monday.

The app allows customers to scan items using their mobile device as they place them in their shopping cart and pay using their mobile device when they are ready check out. Shoppers must show their digital receipt to an H-E-B employee when they exit the store.

H-E-B doesn’t have any immediate plans to roll out the program to other of its 400-plus stores, Campos said. The company has been piloting the app at South Flores Market for months, she said.

“H-E-B is continuously testing new and innovative ways to serve our customers and H-E-B Go is one of many programs to enhance service,” Campos said in an email.

H-E-B has been pushing into areas designed to make shopping more convenient for customers.

Last week, the San Antonio food retailer bought Austin-based Favor Delivery — a mobile app service that delivers orders from retailers, grocery stores and restaurants — for an undisclosed sum. The company already partners with Favor along with digital delivery companies Shipt and Instacart on delivering grocery orders from select stores via its H-E-B to You service.

The San Antonio supermarket chain also has added curbside pickup on grocery orders to at least 100 stores.
